3 Diet Tips to Lose Weight Easily

Easy weight loss diet is a dream for everyone. For decades, researchers
has extensively studied the mechanisms behind feeling hungry and feeling full.
It has been revealed that the stomach monitors the volume of food that comes in
rather than the number of calories. You feel full after eating a big bowl of
vegetable soup but not full after eating a small, yet calorie-rich, piece of
cheesecake. Eating foods with a low-caloric density such as fruits, vegetables,
and soups triggers feelings of fullness. But rich or calorie-dense foods don't
trigger feelings of fullness as readily since they take up little space in the
stomach. Here are four ways to add more big foods to your daily diet:

2. Boost your fiber. The fiber adds bulk to food, helping you feel full
longer. One recent study showed that adding 14 daily grams of fiber (the amount
in a serving of Fiber One cereal) over a four-month period reduced calorie
intake by 10 percent, resulting in a 4-pound weight loss. High-fiber foods
include grains, vegetables, beans, and fruit. Add steamed vegetables to pasta
dishes, beans to your casseroles, and fruit to shaved chocolate for a filling
dessert.

3. Add water. Eating foods with high water content, such as chicken
soup, reduces subsequent calorie intake at the next meal compared to eating
drier foods with the same number of calories, such as chicken casserole. Slurp
soup for a first course, particularly soups with lots of vegetables in a base
of vegetable or low fat chicken or beef stock. Smoothies made with fruit,
nonfat yogurt, and lots of ice also make a filling, watery snack or quick meal.
Not only does the water help you feel full, but the air blended into your fruit
concoction also helps stave off hunger.

In conclusion, by practicing these three tips, easy weight loss diet is
achievable. You can live your life healthfully by picking big foods, boosting
your fiber and add more water in your daily intake. Good luck in reducing your
weight naturally and safely.
